Ezekiel 46:17

But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons’ for them.

KJV

Si autem dederit legatum de hæreditate sua uni servorum suorum, erit illius usque ad annum remissionis, et revertetur ad principem : hæreditas autem ejus filiis ejus erit.

Vulgate

ἐὰν δὲ δῷ δόμα ἑνὶ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ ἕως τοῦ ἔτους τῆς ἀφέσεως, καὶ ἀποδώσει τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ· πλὴν τῆς κληρονομίας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, αὐτοῖς ἔσται.

LXX

But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.
